| Objective:To explore the promoting effect of sports imagination training on separation movement in the upper limb (containing hand) Brunnstrom III stroke hemiplegia patients. Methods: 102 cases of stroke were selected and randomly divided into observation group and control group (n=51 each). The control group was treated with conventional rehabilitation exercise program, and the observation group was given sport imagination training besides the conventional rehabilitation training. The two groups were evaluated by the improvement of Fugl-Myeer Assessment of upper limb (FMA-U), Lovett rating, modified Ashworth scale (MAS), and Brunnstrom rating of upper limb. Results:After 8 weeks of treatment, FMA-U, Lovett rating, MAS and Brunnstrom rating of the two groups were all improved compared to pretreatment (P<0.05), and those in observation group were more significantly improved than in control group (P<0.05). Conclusion:Sports imagination training can promote the separation movement of the upper limb (containing hand) Brunnstrom III stroke hemiplegia patients in clinical practice. |
